More information about the Eurasian otter: The Eurasian otter is a protected species in the UK. It came close to extinction following population declines between the 1950’s-1980’s, due to hunting, habitat loss and pollution. The Marine Conservation Society point out the agricultural use of organochlorine pesticides, which run off into water, were a major contributing factor in UK otter population decline. While the health of UK waterways is improving and the otter population has recovered well, it is globally listed as ‘near-threatened’.
